There’s something so special about growing food with your kids. It’s a great way to get the whole family outside and active. In addition, it teaches children where their food comes from and encourages healthy eating habits!

This gardening season, encourage a healthy lifestyle for your kids by helping them grow their own blueberries. Blueberries are low in fat and have high concentrations of fiber and antioxidants. Just one serving of blueberries contains almost 25 percent of the daily requirement of Vitamin C.

Growing blueberries is easy with Bushel and Berry, a collection of easy to grow, exceptionally beautiful and delicious berry plants for the home garden. They are perfect in the landscape or in patio pots for small space gardens. All of the Bushel and Berry varieties are thornless, which make them great for children to grow, pick and eat!

Here are a few recipes you and your family can make with your delicious, homegrown berries.
